We can say that green tea has become much more popular than black tea recently. And it is quite justified. Green tea has such a set of properties that make it a unique, healing and dietary drink.
There are many legends about green tea. According to one of them, 5000 years ago, the son of the Divine Dragon, Emperor Shen Nong, lived and ruled in China. In addition to power, he possessed an exceptional gift of healing, which Yao Shaw, the "medicinal beast," helped him use. This is a magical creature that was a faithful companion of the emperor in all wanderings. When it was necessary to cure one of the subjects, Shen Nong softly whispered something in the ear of the beast, gently stroked it, and the beast left and returned with the necessary weed. Once, the leaves brought by the wind hit the cup from which the emperor drank, which gave the drink an amazing taste and aroma. The son of the Dragon turned to his faithful companion with a request to find this amazing plant, and he brought him a real elixir of health and beauty - green tea. Since then, everyone has been drinking green tea in China, young and old, worshiping it as the most healthy and necessary drink in the world.

What is a tea diet? These are just five cups of tea per day. But very good, high quality. Meals at this time should also be balanced. You can eat only vegetables, fruits and protein foods. You can’t sit on such a diet for a long time: from 5 days to 2 weeks. However, you need to look at well-being. In real green tea, by the way, up to 25% protein. That is why food does not include cereals and bread, so as not to mix different types of products.
Tea diet has its contraindications. Patients with gastritis, duodenitis, colitis, ulcers should consult a doctor before starting a new diet. Do not forget that green tea is a potent tonic. Therefore, hypertensive patients, people suffering from insomnia, pregnant tea diet is contraindicated.
How does green tea work?
There is an opinion that green tea is losing weight because it suppresses appetite. This is only partly true. If you drink a cup of tea on an empty stomach, then you will want to eat even more. And if you have a little snack with a light salad and after a drink a cup of green tea, then really your appetite will disappear for a long time. Thus, five very light snacks per day will provide the body with a mass of vitamins and lead to noticeable weight loss (up to 5-6 kg in five days).
Green tea has amazing properties. Brewed 2-3 days ago, strong tea kills dysentery and Escherichia coli, and it can easily cope with weaker germs. But the tea diet implies freshly brewed tea, because only vitamins and proteins are stored in it. Yes, and he also has antibacterial properties, maybe not as strong as that of standing tea leaves.
What about vitamins?
This is an extremely useful diet, because in a fresh tea leaf, freshly picked from the bush, there are 4 times more vitamin C than in lemon. Only three cups of green tea contain the daily intake of vitamins P and PP. And the head thinks better after a cup of this noble drink, because it contains B vitamins, which also affect the nervous system. In addition, this black tea goes through all stages of fermentation, and real green tea is not processed and retains all the vitamins and minerals.
Actually, green tea is also a plant, greens. We eat parsley and dill, knowing how many nutrients are in them. Green tea is also a storehouse of vitamins. So the tea diet (reviews can be read on numerous forums where various ways to lose weight and improve health are discussed) will not only help to lose extra pounds, but also provide the body with a lot of useful substances.
